Moore has gone 6-1 against Brown recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Mustangs will host the Bears at 5:00 p.m. Moore has given up an average of 7.6 runs per game this season, but Monday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Brown is facing Moore at the wrong time: Moore suffered their first home loss of the season last Tuesday and they're likely out for redemption. They came up short against the Cougars, falling 16-2. The match marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring game so far this season.

Isaac Northern made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 1-for-1 with two stolen bases and two runs.

Meanwhile, Brown entered their tilt with Western on Wednesday with four consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with five. They were the clear victors by a 10-4 margin over the Warriors. Considering the Bears have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Quinn Gallagher was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.

In other batting news, Oscar Wright was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. Wright is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Another player making a difference was Jamison Calloway, who went 2-for-4 with four stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.

Brown pushed their record up to 13-2 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.9 runs over those games. As for Moore, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-2.

Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Moore has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .492. However, it's not like Brown struggles in that department as they've averaged .532. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
